piSECURE is a decentralized vacuum pump for sealed applications with high safety requirements in case of power or system failure. piSECURE can advantageously also be used in robot handling applications of high value sealed objects, i.e. high cost for dropped part in case of power failure. Examples are shaped glass and metal sheets in body assembly and general assembly of cars. It also complies and fulfil legislated lifting norms for handling devices, for example (DIN/SS) -- EN 13155, ASME Standard B30.20, etc.

Auto tuning

Auto tuning is an example of decentralised decisions that form the basis for Industry 4.0. This is an area where Piab has been busy introducing new equipment features promoting smart production.

Preset settings

The ability to use accurate preset settings also provides opportunity for real-time adjustments of single or multiple settings without a major reset of the entire system.

Easy to simulate with software

Simulations are designed to increase the efficiency of, for instance, vacuum pumps. Estimates show that a pump that is 5 to 20 percent more efficient would result in a productivity gain of up to 10 percent.

Condition monitoring

Estimates suggest it will be possible to achieve a drop of between 1 and 20 percent in the amount of unplanned and/or planned stops. This would translate into a significant productivity boost.

Interoperability

The adoption of IO-Link is the key, as it guarantees interoperability between different devices, regardless of the technology standard used in the overall system.

Information transparency

IO-Link provides a platform for integrated communication and sensors, enabling successful information transparency. Hence, making equipment available with IO-Link can be viewed as a commitment to both interoperability and information transparency.

More energy saving

For large vacuum systems, there are features which can help reduce the air consumption by up to 90 percent in every cycle.
